Go to your device manager and remove the hardare. Then hit the refresh and see if it will find it. This is a problem that comes up frequesntly in the ME version of windows. For some stange reason ME will lose slave drives, cd's and modems.

I would remove the device from hardware manager,Then I would shut down the computer, and remove the modem. Restart the computer, and go into the bios and make sure one of your serial ports isdisabled.The modem has its own.Otherwise, youwill interupt confict.Restart windows and checkto make sure the device has been removed fromhardware manager.shut down again and install yourmodem and reboot, and windows should find yourmodem.
